Getting a rather nice and complex polyrhythm from a simple patch with a Voxglitch Hazumi bounce sequencer and Bernouli gates driving the Tala drum module.
It starts out with the volume down on master mix and you may have to get the Stochastic Sequencer manually started for the strumming part to work.
Once brought up to a good listening level, it kind of does its own thing and that’s the beauty of it. The Stoermelder 8Face does the part change ups in easy mode every 16 measures on the main clock.
Still some fun to be had by making different bounce patterns and changing the biases on the Bernouli gate dials if you want to get hands-on.
If anyone wants to know…
I think the way this works is that Tala just lends itself to this with good alternate-drum pairings and also has a rather good accent feature on top of that. The Bernoulli switches decide whether a given pair will hit on the beat, and which of the pair hits. (Gives some life to it with that randomness that makes it less predictable.) Regardless of what else happens, the accent sticks to a main underlying beat that keeps everything glued together, while the Hazumi bouncing ball sequencer can go all over the place in terms of intensity. Still some dumb luck in it all working as nicely as it did, but I think there may be some other drums that could work in this way as well.
Not too much theory, more like playing with stuff and hit on something really neat.
